October 2, 2009I can't believe I waited so long to see this movie. This movie would have been so great for me while I was in high school. It would of meant so much more to me...but it still had a big impact on me now.
I love this movie. -
August 22, 2009Coming off the success of "Sixteen Candles", John Hughes directed one of the quintessential films of the 80's, "The Breakfast Club". The premise is not unfamiliar to any form of literature: a group of strangers are placed in a common setting, and through this intimate exposure th...( read more)

August 8, 2009This film is one of the most influential films I have ever watched. It reaches out to you - and your touched by it. No matter what little sub-culture you were shifted into whilst going through the trials and tribulations of Secondary school you could relate to it.

February 16, 2009The pinnacle of the 80's pop movie genre...made exactly halfway through the decade, and featuring a pair of the most famous stars...this is pretty much the meat and tators of the 80s.

August 31, 2009I watched it in my house and I thought it was amazing, I was laughing soooo much, I gotta say I think it might be one of the best movies made. Even though I dont really like Molly Ringwald that much I thought she played the part very well. My fave character is the girl with the black hair tho tbh (I havent seen it in a while so I have forgotten her name). I think it's a very good and funny film (:

March 29, 2009Wonderful idea, setting and the personas of these teenagers were amazingly put together and their family backgrounds so realistic and I think every parent in this world should watch this movie BEFORE it may be a little too late. This nmovie is very, very educating in the entertaining, hilarious and touching way with realistic emotions and awesome actors. Now that didn't do justice to what this really is. I can't explain, I just... This movie includes something to learn and enjoy for everyone - not only for parents. Watch this movie. You won't regret. I swear.

April 7, 2008Wonderful...........The Breakfast Club is the greatest absoulute best movie in the universe,nothing can top this movie. John Hughes makes the best movies(The Breakfast Club,Weird Science,Sixteen Candles,and Ferris Bueller's Day Off) When my mom first showed this movie I was hooked on the 80s. I have a collection of 13 80s flicks and I keep them seperated from my other movies. I even love the music and the lingo. If anyone wants to get interested into the 80s this is the perfect movie to watch!!!!!!!!
